The OOTP 16 Feedback Thread - Page 5

The MLB graphics are great! Well done! I am singing praises all day!

Leefoo · 03-20-2015, 01:30 PM

I have saved and backed up all of my games in OOTP 15.

When I go into import an OOTP 15 game, it says it can't import it, because it was saved with OOTP 14. Not true...I just saved it in OOTP 15. Also, they are in the OOTP 14 folder, but I am definitely playing with OOTP 15. There IS no OOTP15 folder. I am not sure why that is so, but I am definitely playing with OOTP 15!

Also, when I click on Backup, none of my leagues that I just backed up in OOTP show up except for 1976 and there is no file to restore. I clicked on all of the directories and still no file!

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo...what am I missing?

Thanks!

============================
More info...The game defaults to the User/documents directory where only 14 and 16 are listed. I've since discovered that there is an OOTP 15 backup folder in the ProgramFiles (x86)/OOTP folder, but it still doesn't help, because there are no files to restor when I go into the Backup Folder. All my games are there, but everything is grayed out 'underneath' it.

I am lost.

Thx!

Yeah I tried that. It is a global adjustment unfortunately. On other screens the larger font affects columns and spacing a bit. It would be nice to be able to adjust specific font sizes such as the 7-day lineups only. I found that switching to the "classic" skin helped with the 7-day lineups font by reducing the white glare of the background.

FWIW

The combination of the new facegen and the integrated nickname project logos/uniforms is making my fictional league look amazing with no work from me. Seven thumbs up!

Benoit256 · 03-20-2015, 01:45 PM

Easily downloaded this morning and been playing nonstop. The team out did itself this year. Love everything you've done to make this a most enjoyable game to play. Too many improvements to list but this edition is amazing to say the least. No problems running the program. Thanks a lot for a first class product and workmanship.

Are we no longer able to see coach ratings? When I go to a coach's page or look at the list of availablecoaches I don't see a way to see "teach hitting", "teach pitchng", etc.

As league commish if I go into the editor I can see the raw numbers but that seems like cheating.

Transferred my long-running league into OOTP16 without a hitch except one - the reliever I've been holding off signing upped his demand from ~$4M in OOTP15 to ~$14M in OOTP16 - and of course my owner has made signing him a goal

I mentioned this last year and the year before yet it still stays as a problem.

I do a "Control-C" and then a "Control-V" and all that pastes is a lower case 'v'.

VERY annoying!!!!

Talk about complaining. So once a year you have to type a 20 plus digit code? Start a fund raiser!

Psyched to crank it up and rest the Cubs' championship clock!

Haven’t proceeded too far yet (which is part of the problem) and don’t know that the causes are “bugs” per se – I guess that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I’m an OOTP vet (though I skipped version 15) and operating on a pretty powerful laptop that had no problem with OOTP14. Issues thus far:

1) Simulation speed – previously playing “until next week”, would take 7-10 seconds/per day, this version > minute/day...zooms through games then hangs a loooooong time;
2) Free agent signings: (a) though I have all signing control set to me, there are constantly offers being made by my organization that I have not executed; (b) when I get a note stating that an FA wants more money, I cannot alter my offer – told that I have a pending offer.

Apologies is this should be posted elsewhere (let me know) – just seeing if there re quick fixes I’m overlooking or if I am alone in my issues. Thanks.

MizzouRah · 03-20-2015, 02:11 PM

I have it all downloaded and installed before I left for work this morning. Is the MLB QS all ready to go with everything or do we need extra mods? (logos/uniforms/facegen/ball parks/etc)

Failed again with a DL Manager. Got to around 550 MB this time. Let's try again I guess...

Still just scratching the surface, but I noticed that in addition to the All-Star voting, there's also a setting to adjust the influence of player popularity in the All-Star vote. Pretty sure that didn't exist last year. Fantastic.

strzepeksc · 03-20-2015, 02:20 PM

When I click on the OOTP 16 manual in game option it refers me to the OOTP 15 manual. Where is the manual for ootp 16 ?

Not yet available... working on it. Most is identical, though.

Correct.

Ruthian23 · 03-20-2015, 02:36 PM

I've decided to play as GM only, and it seems like the way Managers have been implemented is fantastic, with reputation and personality determining how much strategy control you have as GM.

If I could be bothered I could probably remember it, although it seems too much effort when it's simpler to copy and paste it

So, am I to understand then that players that are unpopular but great may not get the same support as a player with similar numbers but people love? I can dig that.

Well done Guy's, you hit it out of the park

Fyrestorm3 · 03-20-2015, 03:07 PM

Can we no longer click and drag to rearrange the player names on the field graphic when we're playing out games? I prefer doing it in-game rather than going into the Edit Ballpark menu, but it now automatically goes to the player's profile when you try to click and drag. Seems an odd thing to get rid of, so maybe it's an oversight?
